I'm having an IM brake lever/hood problem. On this thread, I see many Ironmans looking sharp with white hoods and white tape. My quite new to me 87 is very low miles ( still sporting Technovas with the center mold line very apparent) and the brake 1051 levers are almost perfect.
However, the hoods are sticky and need replacing. Here is a 6043 hood on a 1051
and while I can deal with the gap in front, there is space under the hood on either side and if I stuff it with something, I might as well go with a pair of Cane Creeks. Has anyone tried the 1055 hoods on their 1051 equipped IM? I know I could get a pair of 400s but I'd rather keep these levers. ( I'd really like to rejuvenate my hoods
)
